Re: In most accidents involving bicycle riders, they get [#permalink]
A looks good.

B---->It talks about completely prohibiting bicycles, hence not feasible.
C---->No mention of bicycle sports and hence not valid reason.
D---->Ridiculous reasoning.
E---->Simple solution but not necessarily the feasible and effective one.

Re: In most accidents involving bicycle riders, they get [#permalink]
I beg to differ.

The question is to find the best and the feasible solution.

A does give the best solution but not the feasible one. Consider the cost of building entirely new road systems for bicyclists.

B offers the next best and feasible solution.
The goverment can provide loans or subsidies. The burden on the government won't be extraordinary in this case.

Thats my opinion,
But won't be suprised if the answer is A in GMAT land

I went with A in this case. I found C to be unfeasible in the sense that a blanket ban of bicycles in the city might cause a lot of inconvenience.

I was between C and E...

E seemed like not everyone who rides bicycles might be reached by such approach and C didn't require anything, which meant "feasible"

all other answers required one kind of spending or another so I didn't think they were correct

Re: In most accidents involving bicycle riders, they get [#permalink]
The correct answer is C. The question asks for the best and most feasible solution. In order to avoid dangers connected to driving a bicycle in town, it is best to prohibit it and shift it to other areas, in order not to completely rid bicycle lovers of the right for their passion.
a. The best solution but not feasible.
b. Not all people can drive motor vehicles, plus this option might be costly, too.
c. the correct answer (see explanation above)
d. Not all people can ride bicycles.
e. The result is not guaranteed (word 'can' plays an important part), even though this could be very feasible.
